Omeza Complete Matrix for Foot Ulcer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests whether adding the Omeza Complete Matrix (OCM) to standard care for diabetic foot ulcers can speed up healing. Individuals with diabetes and a foot ulcer present for at least four weeks without significant healing may qualify. The trial compares standard care alone to standard care combined with OCM, which uses fish collagen to aid wound healing. As an unphased trial, this study provides a unique opportunity to contribute to research that could enhance healing for diabetic foot ulcers.
Is there any evidence suggesting that the treatments in this trial are likely to be safe?
Research shows that Omeza Complete Matrix (OCM) is safe for treating wounds like diabetic foot ulcers. Studies have found that OCM also treats other types of ulcers, such as leg and pressure ulcers. Data indicate that patients tolerate it well. In some cases, patients experienced high rates of wound healing, highlighting its potential effectiveness and safety for diabetic foot ulcers.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatment for foot ulcers?
Unlike the standard of care for foot ulcers, which involves methods like surgical debridement and offloading, the Omeza® Complete Matrix (OCM™) is unique because it utilizes hydrolyzed fish collagen derived from whitefish skin. This innovative ingredient is designed to enhance wound healing by providing a natural scaffold for new tissue growth. Researchers are excited about OCM™ because it could offer a more effective and potentially faster healing process for foot ulcers compared to existing treatments.
What evidence suggests that the Omeza Complete Matrix is effective for diabetic foot ulcers?
Research has shown that the Omeza Complete Matrix (OCM), which participants in this trial may receive, can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. One study found that patients using OCM had their wounds close by 90 to 100 percent within 12 weeks. This treatment uses a special type of fish collagen that may help the skin heal more effectively. In this trial, using OCM alongside standard care aims to improve wound healing. These promising results suggest OCM could be effective in treating diabetic foot ulcers.12456

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with Type I or II Diabetes and a diabetic foot ulcer present for 4 weeks to less than 12 months, showing little healing. The ulcer must be Wagner grade 1-3 without infection or visible bone (grade 3 allowed if acute osteomyelitis is treated). Ulcers should measure between 0.7cm² and 25cm², have been offloaded for two weeks, and show good circulation.Inclusion Criteria
Timeline for a Trial Participant
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Treatment
Participants receive either standard of care (SOC) alone or SOC plus OCM for up to 12 weeks. Crossover subjects in the SOC arm may switch to SOC plus OCM after 84 days if criteria are met.
Crossover Treatment
SOC arm subjects not achieving complete wound closure may cross over to receive SOC plus OCM with weekly applications for up to 12 treatment visits.
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after treatment, including tracking of adverse events and wound re-opening.
